The Irreplaceable Significance of Childhood with Dr. Kathy Koch

Recently, an article was published in People Magazine called “Brainy-Bunch: Parents Homeschool Their 10 Kids With All of Them Graduating High School at 12” First of all, this is not the “standard” that most homeschooling parents hold their kids to. 🙂 Today, Dr. Kathy and I will spend today talking about the reasons why we need to let kids, even “gifted” kids, have a childhood.
